Battery operation using alkaline batteries

1. Remove the battery cover on the rear of the unit by sliding the catch.

2. Insert six C size (UM2, LR 14) alkaline batteries into the spaces in the compartment. Ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment.

3. Slide the battery switch to the Alkaline position and then replace the battery cover.

● Important: when using alkaline batteries, the battery switch must be placed in the alkaline

position. Failure to do so could result in serious damage to the batteries or radio.

● Reduced power, distortion and a “stuttering“ sound are all the signs that the batteries may

need replacing.

● If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time, it is recommended that the

batteries are removed from the radio.

● We would recommend for economy that the radio is used via the AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or standby use only. If extended listening using batteries is anticipated, then the use of rechargeable batteries is recommended.

Battery operation using rechargeable batteries

1. Remove the battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the catch.

2. Insert six Rechargeable LR 14 (C size, UM 2) batteries into the spaces in the compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. The radio is designed to be used with Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries.

3. Slide the battery switch to the NiMH position and then replace the battery cover.

4. Plug the supplied power adaptor into the radio and connect to the mains.

5. The Charge LED will ash green indicating battery are charging. Batteries will be fully charged

in around 8 hours. The Charge LED will show a steady green when the batteries are fully charged.

● Important: When using rechargeable batteries, the battery switch must be placed in the

NiMH position. Batteries will only be charged when the radio is switched off and connected

to the AC adaptor.

● Reduced power, distortion or your radio switching off by itself are all signs that the batteries may

need charging.

● If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time, it is recommended that the batteries

are removed from the radio.

Important: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, re or the like. After use, disposable batteries should if possible be taken to a suitable recycling center. The batteries shouldn’t be disposed by incineration.

Using the AC adaptor

Your radio is supplied with a Mains adaptor.

1. Place your radio on a at surface.

2. Insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket located on the left hand end of your radio.

3. Plug the adaptor into the mains socket outlet. Whenever the adaptor is used, the batteries are automatically disconnected.

The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply and the radio when not in use.

● Important: The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting the radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used to the radio must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the radio from the mains completely, the mains adaptor should be removed from the mains socket outlet completely.

socket.

2. “Aux In“ will show on the display.

3. Adjust the Volume control for comfortable listening.

Line out socket

A 3.5 mm Line out socket located on the left hand end of your radio is provided for connecting

the audio signal to an external amplier. Inserting a line out audio cable will not mute the internal

loudspeaker. Set the volume control to the minimum if desired.

Headphone socket

A 3.5 mm Headphone socket located on the left hand end of your radio is provided for use with either headphones or an earpiece. Inserting a plug automatically mutes the internal loudspeaker.

Please be aware that the sensitivity of headphones can vary widely. We therefore recommend setting volume to a low level before connecting headphones to the radio. It is also recommended to reduce the volume before unplugging your headphones.

Important: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.

News/Music sound switch

For all normal listening, it is recommended to use the sound/music switch in the music position.

The alternative news position is intended to make speech clearer when there is signicant background noise or music in the program content.

Display backlight

1. When your radio is powered by the AC adaptor, the display backlight will always be switched on.

2. When using on batteries, the display backlight will be switched on for approx. 12 seconds when

any button is pressed.

A few words about batteries

Your radio has been designed to use a choice of power sources. You may plug it into the mains using the supplied adaptor. or for listening away from the mains, you may use either alkaline or rechargeable batteries. We do not recommend the use of carbon-zinc or zinc-chloride batteries.

It is very important that your read the advice and warnings given below.

1) whichever type of batteries you choose to use. It is very important that

the battery selection switch under the cover is set to the correct type.

a. If no batteries are tted, then set the switch to the Alkaline position.

This position minimizes the power consumption when the radio is powered from the mains.

b. If Alkaline batteries are tted, then set the switch to the Alkaline position.

c. If Rechargeable batteries are tted, then set the switch to the NiMH

position. Your radio is designed to use Nickel-Metal-Hydride rechargeable batteries. No other type of rechargeable battery should be used in this radio.

2) NEVER mix old and new Alkaline batteries. The old batteries may

suffer damage and leak which will damage your radio and whatever the radio is standing on.

3) NEVER mix old and new Rechargeable batteries. This may result in

unreliable charging and shorten battery life. Never mix Rechargeable batteries of different types or capacities even if they are new.

4) NEVER mix Alkaline and Rechargeable batteries. The recharging of

Alkaline batteries can be very dangerous.

Rechargeable batteries

Your radio use a range of methods to ensure correct and safe charging of Rechargeable Nickel-Metal-Hydride batteries. These work to protect your batteries from excessive charge and discharge.

These protection can only work properly if the advice above is followed. In particular, the radio will not be able to correctly charge batteries if they are a mixture of different brands, or different ages, or different capacities.

We recommend that all the rechargeable batteries used in your radio are bought together as a set. They should always be charged together and dis-

charged together and not “borrowed“ from time to time for other applications.

This will ensure that they give their optimum performance in your radio.

We recommend that the rechargeable batteries that you use should be from a quality brand, and should be of at least 4000mAh capacity. Batteries of this capacity should be able to power your radio for between 10 and 20 hours depending upon the volume of the radio, whether DAB or FM mode is used (DAB mode uses slightly less power than FM), and also depending on the condition of the batteries.

Before you rst install a new set of rechargeable batteries into your radio, you should rst make sure that the battery type switch beneath the

battery cover is in the NiMH (rechargeable) position.

Install the batteries arranging them as shown on the back of the radio. Plug the mains adaptor into a mains socket and then into the radio. While

the batteries are charging, the battery indicator should show a ashing

green light. When the batteries are fully charged, the indicator will stop

ashing and will show a steady green light. The time taken to charge the batteries will depend on how much charging they require. New batteries may be partly charged when rst tted, but it is normal for a set of bat-

teries to take several hours to charge fully (this can be between 6 and 9 hours depending on the battery capacity and their initial state of charge.

If you use the radio powered from batteries, the battery light will be off until the batteries are exhausted. The battery light will then show red for a while before the radio switches itself off. It does this in order that the batteries are not excessively discharged. This would otherwise damage the batteries and shorten their life.

To avoid danger and risk of injury, please follow these guide lines

Improper use of batteries may result in leakage of uid, overheating or explosion. Battery uid is corrosive and may also be toxic. Battery uid can cause skin burns, can damage the eyes, and can be harmful if

swallowed.

If you use the radio powered from the mains with rechargeable batteries

tted, the charging process is suspended until you switch off the radio.

When you switch off the radio using its On/Off button, charging will then resume. If the batteries have already been charged then they will only charge for a few more minutes before the battery charge indicator stops

ashing.

If you only listen to your radio for short periods, you do not need to connect your radio to the mains to charge the batteries every time that you use it. However, if the radio is not to be used for a few weeks, we recommend that the batteries are fully charged before the radio is put to one side (charge light show steady green).

If you intend not to use your radio for some months, then we recommend that the batteries are removed and put away, keeping them in a cool place out of reach of children, away from moisture and such that no metal object can contact the battery terminals.

With care, rechargeable batteries can last a long time and can operate for many hundreds of charge and discharge cycles. When your re-

chargeable batteries can no longer power your radio adequately, please

dispose of them thoughtfully.

1. Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

2. Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate or dispose of batteries by burning.

3. Do not mix different battery types or old and new batteries. Always replace all the batteries at the same time.

4. Do not carry or store batteries such that metal objects may contact the end caps.

5. Remove batteries from the radio if they are worn out or if you are storing it for a long time.

6. Remove old or worn out batteries promptly, and recycle or dispose of them according to the regulations applicable to your location.

7. If a battery does leak, remove all batteries from the product, taking

care to avoid directly touching the leaked uid. If the uid contacts

skin or clothes, wash with water immediately. Before inserting new batteries, thoroughly clean the battery compartment with a damp paper towel, or follow the battery manufacturer’s advice for clean up.
